Jamie Oliver debuts the second season of his Emmy Award winning “Food Revolution” on Tuesday. The program seeks to overhaul alleged unhealthy and poor-quality lunch foods served in the nation’s schools, and this time around, the British celebrity chef is targeting Angelenos.

But filming for the second season hit a snag when the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) refused to let Oliver and his cameras enter their schools.
“I’m really disappointed that I couldn’t get in there at all,” Oliver complained to the Associated Press last week. “I’m disappointed that as public servants, they feel they have the right to not be transparent.”
However, Robert Alaniz, Director of Communications for LAUSD told FOX411’s Pop Tarts column that they have nothing to be guarded about, and rejected filming “Food Revolution” based on a number of factors.
According to Alaniz, LAUSD was first approached about the production in November and was very interested, but after reaching out to the Cabell County School District, which represents Huntington, West Virginia – which was featured on Season One of Oliver’s show – they had some serious concerns.
